Rattlesnake vs Dog Training Pt. 2

SEASON, THERE IS A TRAINING PROGRAM FOR THE HOSPITAL CLIENTS. HOW TO AVOID RATTLESNAKE INJURIES THIS SUMMER. Reporter: WE ARE AT BRADSHAW HOSPITAL IN ELK GROVE. WE WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE TRAINING AND SHOW YOU WHAT THE DOGS ARE DOING. JOHN WITH GET RATTLED IS HERE TO WALK US THROUGH. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE WITH PETS. THE SNAKES HAVE WOKEN UP FROM HIBERNATION, BRANCHING OUT LOOKING FORMATS. THAT’S WHEN PEOPLE AND DOGS ARE LIKELY TO ENCOUNTER THEM. I WILL LET YOU DO THE TALKING AND WALK US THROUGH HOW IT WORKS. ESSENTIALLY WE WANT THE FIRST INTRODUCTION TO BE AS NATURAL AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL GUIDE HER. THAT IS A TYPICAL REACTION. SHE SAW HER, I GAVE HER A CORRECTION WITH THE COLOR. A SIMPLE CORRECTION WITH — LIKE A TENS UNIT. A SMALL MUFFLE CRAMP, UNCOMFORTABLE AND STARTLING. THAT’S WHAT WE ARE GOING FOR. NOW SHE SAW IT AND WE WILL SEE IF SHE IS ALREADY AFRAID OR SHE MIGHT — OKAY. SHE WAS GIVING IT A GOOD STARE FROM THE DISTANCE. DO MOST DOGS GET INTERESTED AND WANT TO GET OUT THERE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF DOGS WILL WALK UP TO THE SNAKE.IT’S THE PERFECT TOY. LOOKS GREAT, SOUNDS GREAT, SMELLS GOOD. SHE IS ALREADY DEFINITELY SHOWING US THE SIGNS THAT OKAY, I KNOW WHAT THAT IS. SHE MAY GIVE IT A LOOK. SEE THAT GLANCING — WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT. AVOIDING THE STARE DOWN. WHEN THEY STOP AND STARE, WHERE THE EYES GO THE BRAIN WILL FOLLOW. WE DON’T WANT THEM TO THINK THAT ISN’T SO BAD AND START APPROACHING.WE DON’T LET THEM DO THE LONG STAIRS LIKE THAT. OTHER STATIONS ARE SET UP AS WELL. WE ABSOLUTELY DO. LET’S MOVE ON TO SCENT REAL QUICK. WE HAVE A FEW MORE SECONDS LEFT. EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS OVER HERE. OVER HERE WE HAVE A LIVE RATTLESNAKE IN A BOX. IT HAS A FAN BEHIND IT AND IT’S BLOWING THE SCENT FORWARD. DID YOU DO A CORRECTION THERE. THAT WAS ME GIVING A CORRECTION. SO, NOW HE IS GETTING THE SCENT PORTION. THIS USUALLY DOESN’T TAKE LONG. DOG’S SENSE OF SMELL IS PHENOMENAL. THEY PICK IT UP FAST. THIS IS A GREAT SIGN. LET’S MOVE TO THE TUBE. WE HAVE ANOTHER STATION OVER HERE. WE HAVE TO WRAP THIS UP. THIS IS GREAT. A GOOD WAY FOR PEOPLE TO SEE HOW THIS WORKS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND WATCHING AND SAYING I HAVE A DOG THAT I WANT TO HAVE GO THROUGH THE SAME KIND OF TRAINING, GO TO GET RATTLED ON .
